Boost Mobile introduces new family plan, international calling to Mexico and more

Prepaid carrier Boost Mobile has announced new plans, offers, and options for both new and old customers. These include a new family plan system, enhancements to international calling, and up to $5 in credit every month with a new rewards plan.

Boost Mobile has introduced a new family plan, offering unlimited talk and text, with a choice between 1.5GB and 5GB per month. Starting with two lines, customers can get either data allotment for $70 per month. Three lines and 1.5GB will run you $90 per month, while 5GB costs $95. There's also a 4-line plan for $100 with 1.5GB, and $120 for 5GB. While the high-speed data is limited, data itself is unlimited, with slower speeds kicking in after you use up your data allowance.

Customers now have the option of adding unlimited talk and text to and from Mexico on Boost for and extra $5 per month. With this plan, you'll be able to use your Boost plan in Mexico, with up to 8GB in roaming data.

Boost also has a couple of new offers for customers. For a limited time at participating Boost stores, new customers signing up for a family plan can get two free smartphones. Phones available for this deal include the Moto E, LG Tribute, and the ZTE Speed. You can also get up to $5 in credit every month if you install the Boost Dealz app on your Android phone. The app displays ads every so often when you unlock you phone's screen.
